A significant increase in the expression of TNF-receptor 2 (TNFR2, p75), but not of TNFR1 (p55), was found on brain microvessels at the time of CM in susceptible animals. Moreover, mice genetically deficient for TNFR2 (Tnfr2null) were significantly protected from experimental CM, in contrast to TNFR1-deficient (Tnfr1null) mice, which were as susceptible as wild-type mice. To identify the factors involved in the protection from CM conferred by the lack of TNFR2, we assessed in both knockout and control mice the serum concentrations of mediators that are critical for the development of CM, as well as the up-regulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in the brain microvessels. No significant difference in serum levels of TNF and interferon-gamma was found between infected wild-type and Tnfr1null or Tnfr2null mice. Interestingly, the pronounced ICAM-1 up-regulation and leukocyte sequestration, typically occurring in brain microvessels of CM-susceptible animals, was detected in infected control and Tnfr1null mice-both of which developed CM-whereas no such ICAM-1 up-regulation or leukocyte sequestration was observed in Tnfr2null mice, which were protected from CM. Making use of microvascular endothelium cells (MVEC) isolated from wild-type, Tnfr1null or Tnfr2null mice, we show that soluble TNF requires the presence of both TNF receptors, whereas membrane-bound TNF only needs TNFR2 for TNF-mediated ICAM-1 up-regulation in brain MVEC. Thus, only in MVEC lacking TNFR2, neither membrane-bound nor soluble TNF cause the up-regulation of ICAM-1 in vitro. In conclusion, these results indicate that the interaction between membrane TNF and TNFR2 is crucial in the development of this neurological syndrome. |
